Journey Prayer
It is said that one should offer two units of prayer before departing on a journey (Ṣalāt al-Khurūj ilā al-Safar), and upon returning from the journey (Ṣalāt al-ʿAwda).
Maqtām ibn al-Miqdām reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“No one has left behind with their family anything better than two rakʿahs offered at home when intending to travel.”
[Reported by al-Ṭabarānī]

Kaʿb ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه relates:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not return from a journey except during the daytime, in the forenoon. When he arrived, he would first go to the mosque and pray two rakʿahs therein, then sit.”
[Muslim]
Whoever intends to travel may offer two rakʿahs of prayer at home before departing. When he returns from his journey, he should go to the mosque and offer two rakʿahs therein.
[Radd al-Muḥtār, 1:459]

Post-Sunrise Prayer
Ṣalāt al-Ishrāq is a voluntary (nafl) prayer performed after sunrise, once the sun has risen sufficiently above the horizon.
After completing Fajr Ṣalāh, a person may remain in the place where he prayed, engaging in dhikr, tasbīḥ, Qur’an recitation and other acts of worship until after sunrise. Thereafter, he may stand and offer two or more rakʿahs of nafl prayer.

There are narrations concerning the great virtues of this prayer.
Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه relates that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever regularly performs the Ishrāq prayer will have his minor sins forgiven, even if they are as numerous as the foam of the sea.”
[Reported by al-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is also reported to have said that Allah تعالى says:

“O son of Ādam, perform four rakʿahs for Me at the beginning of the day, and I shall suffice you for the rest of your day.”
[Mishkāt, p. 116]
In another narration reported by al-Tirmidhī, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is reported to have said:
“Whoever performs Fajr Ṣalāh in congregation, then remains seated in the same place while engaging in the remembrance of Allah until after sunrise, and thereafter performs two rakʿahs of nafl prayer, will receive the reward of one complete Hajj and one complete ʿUmrah.”
[Al-Tirmidhī]

Eid is one of the memorable and joyful occasions in the Islamic calendar.
Eid al-Fiṭr is a day of blessings and joy for fasting Muslims, as they hope for a great reward from Almighty Allah for their righteous observance of the fast.
At the end of Ramadan, Muslims express their gratitude to Allah ﷻ, Who enabled them to observe the fast and blessed them with abundant provision throughout this blessed month.
Eid al-Fiṭr is therefore a day of joy, worship, gratitude to Allah, cooperation, solidarity, brotherhood, unity, and spiritual renewal.

Shedding more light on this issue, the late Shaykh Sayyid Ad-Darsh, former Chairman of the UK Shariah Council, said:
“True joy is our Eid; it is our feast. During the month of Ramadan, Allah puts us through a test. At the end of the month, there is a great sense of achievement and a feeling of coming closer to the Almighty. It is the joy of spiritual fulfilment. It is a time for celebration, not a time to indulge in insulting or abusing others or detracting from the achievements of the month of Ramadan; it’s a day of real joy.”

End of today’s education.
Subḥānaka Allāhumma wa biḥamdik, ash-hadu an lā ilāha illā Anta, astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilayk.
After referring to several reliable books, we have established that the issue of seeing whiteness, grass, plants, paper, milk, or other specific things in a dream after performing Istikhārah has no basis in Islam.
What we should look forward to is that Allah ﷻ will ease and guide us towards what is best.
May He strengthen us and make us steadfast in faith. May He accept our acts of worship and grant us goodness in this world and in the Hereafter.
May Allah ʿAzza wa Jalla forgive us and grant us Jannatul Firdaus.
ĀMĪN.
